Former executives of Custer Battles — an American firm accused of stealing millions from Iraq reconstruction projects and banned from further government contracts — have continued doing contracting work and have formed new companies to bid on such projects, The Associated Press has learned.

This may or may not be illegal, military officials say; Custer Battles officials deny any wrongdoing.

The new companies (there are at least three) are all headed by Rob Roy Trumble, who previously was operations chief for Custer Battles, according to state records.

1. The fact that he's known to be (and proven to be) a thief and liar makes

him a perfect fit for contract work in Iraq.

I read this story earlier but I just got so damn disgusted and fed up I just didn't have the energy to post it. This is republican SOP, no more, no less.

2. About Rob Roy Trumble

Maybe someone can help me out here, but I did a quick google search and found a Roy Trumble who ran the School of the Americas. Wasn't this group responsible for some massacres some years ago?

He went from that to Custer Battles and now this? Sounds like a war profiteer.
